A 'take-down' 88S with the same colours as the Pro but a Taiwan-built frame and a slightly different head shape. Offered most of the 88S attacking idea for noticeably less money.

  • Stiff head-heavy power at a lower price
  • Good front-court feel
  • Same colourway as the Pro
  • Less refined than the Japan-made Pro
  • Superseded in 2024
  • Stiff shaft not friendly to casual players
